The Rhododendron Chrysanthum Pall.s' Acetylation Modification of Rubisco Enzymes Controls Carbon Cycling to Withstand UV-B Stress.

Lysine acetylation of proteins plays a critical regulatory function in plants. A few advances have been made in the study of plant acetylproteome. However, until now, there have been few data on Pall. (). We analyzed the molecular mechanisms of photosynthesis and stress resistance in under UV-B stress. We measured chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of under UV-B stress and performed a multi-omics analysis. Based on the determination of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, Y(NO) (Quantum yield of non-photochemical quenching) increased under UV-B stress, indicating that the plant was damaged and photosynthesis decreased. In the analysis of acetylated proteomics data, acetylated proteins were found to be involved in a variety of biological processes. Notably, acetylated proteins were significantly enriched in the pathways of photosynthesis and carbon fixation, suggesting that lysine acetylation modifications have an important role in these activities. Our findings suggest that has decreased photosynthesis and impaired photosystems under UV-B stress, but NPQ shows that plants are resistant to UV-B. Acetylation proteomics revealed that up- or down-regulation of acetylation modification levels alters protein expression. Acetylation modification of key enzymes of the Calvin cycle (Rubisco, GAPDH) regulates protein expression, making Rubisco and GAPDH proteins expressed as significantly different proteins, which in turn affects the carbon fixation capacity of . Thus, Rubisco and GAPDH are significantly differentially expressed after acetylation modification, which affects the carbon fixation capacity and thus makes the plant resistant to UV-B stress. Lysine acetylation modification affects biological processes by regulating the expression of key enzymes in photosynthesis and carbon fixation, making plants resistant to UV-B stress.
